    Hi,
    If I simply want to query if the player has a specific key, without reading the key or writing, does that count as a read?
    Thanks

    From my understanding, every time you use a method that starts with load, retrieve or whatever will count. But I don't know how it is implemented behind the scenes, but since all the methods generate webrequests and API calls, it would make sense if that is the case.

    Hi Jeryl,

    MiTschMR is correct in their interpretation that any load, list, or retrieve method will count as a read. Unless you already have the relevant data locally from a previous read, the only way to check if a key exists is to try and read that key.

    Ok, thank you both.
    So if I understand correctly, usage is calculated by API calls, not read / calls?
    If I use
    Code (CSharp):
    1. List<string> keys = await CloudSaveService.Instance.Data.RetrieveAllKeysAsync();
    2.         for (int i = 0; i < keys.Count; i++)
    3.         {
    4.             Debug.Log(keys[i]);
    5.         }
    it counts as 1 usage, no matter how many keys I am reading in that call, right?
    If that's the case, my issue is a non issue :)

    From my understanding, yes, that is one API call to get all keys, meaning it counts as 1 read.
